Hmm.
"A regular mom? I don't know what you mean."
"You know, the kind of mom that picks me up OUTSIDE of school."
I wasn't doing a great job of blogging before Thanksgiving, but I unexpectedly started a long-term sub position the week before that and everything has kind of came to a screeching halt around here. Not just the blog. The laundry, the baking, the cleaning...the list goes on. I'm feeling guilty because I don't feel I'm spending enough quality time with the kids and by the time we get home, my patience is hanging by a thread. I feel unorganized and I don't think I'm keeping the house up and running like I should. Everything just seems rushed. I'm used to doing all my 'mom-stuff' while the kids are at school and then being able to just BE with them once they're home. "BE"...As in, sit and talk, read together, play a game, linger at the farm, make snacks, paint nails, build with Legos...you know...the stuff that matters. Thankfully, the end is in sight. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy subbing, but I wasn't mentally prepared for three months of it!
I've got lots to share when I finally do make time to post something worth reading... Kid updates, vacation pictures and other things I want to make sure I record here for my babes.
In the meantime, I'll countdown the days until I'm a Regular Mom again...
If there is such a thing!!
